I have a 6.5 prc. Wish it was 308 if that tells u anything. But I started my daughter with 7/08 with 120 grain Barnes. Absolutely no issues. She's 15 and still uses that gun.
6.5 prc vs 308

243 or 6 creed would be a perfect match.
I'm 37 and still use that combo
I'm going back to it. Lol
What's your issue with the prc? I haven't heard anything bad about it so wondering.
I do not like the performance on deer. Jmo
Bullet you used?
124 grain hammer and then tried 130 Barnes
Thanks. It always interests me who has or didn't have success with a particular combination
Let me guess, little to no expansion?
Might do better with a 130/140 Accubond or the 140 Sierra TKG. I've gotten pretty good results with those on deer/coyotes.
There's always the 139 Scenar
Deceased via Scenar bullet pix please..
Tons of white, long winter and the Scenars that Scenar turned me onto are perking well in my lil 300 WSM. So, please post up pics of your victums via flight Scenar and help me relax a bit during this long butt winter. Gracias Perro

Yep
They did not group like I wanted.
That's a bullet issue, not a chambering issue. I would shoot some Norma Bondstrikes or Hornady ELD M's and you'll see better results.

I don't want hijack his thread. The 124 grain hammers and 130 grain Barnes shoot unreal. I shot 1 mature buck with each. Both hard tracking jobs. Shots were in the right place. I like partition bullets but they don't group well. Just not working for me. 7/08 with 140 Barnes is death on a stick. Very few move out of sight. I just wanted to try something flatter shooting.
I find this really interesting. I have not had a deer take a step since I switched to Hammer bullets. I think one key thing with them is you need to have them moving fast. They have petals that separate from the main section of the bullet.
I'd guessing speed was sufficient if he was using a prc.
